Robert, I got to that by a lucky accident, using only iPhoto. In "effects," I switched to B&W, then, I did something that shouldn't have changed anything: I clicked "Boost Color." I was surprised to see things getting browner and I clicked it up to 6. Maybe I shouldn't reveal that secret!

It's 'sharpen' slide feature beats Photoshop, and I prefer its 'saturation' slide over the one in Photoshop. I also prefer i-Photo's 'exposure' slide. Plus it loads a lot faster.

I officially hate my phone. Its camera was a primary purchasing decision, but I found after buying it and locked into a two year deal, that it's impossible to connect directly to a computer, neither Mac, nor P.C. That feature is unreasonably costly through Sprint. They are second-rate photos, after all. They cannot be emailed to myself, without added expense, and there is no memory card, nor is there a handset manager for this model phone that manages photos. This has caused me to become deeply and lastingly annoyed with Sprint, and I'm uncertain to recover.

The thing about using poetic descriptions is they can be inadvertently offensive by comparing a devastating thing with a cute thing, as this chocolate malt comparison does. That's why I hate the phrase "it's a wake up call" to describe something like a tornado, hurricane Katrina, or a war. It conceptually reduces something huge to something small and that makes me think the person doing the comparing is stupid.

This reminds me of a trick a friend used to do with traditional print film. He would shoot with color film, but have it developed as black and white. The values would be right, but the hue was very undpredictable.
